I just received my new Beachbum Berry Remixed on Wednesday, and I've been making drinks from it every night since. Tonight I had the great pleasure of trying a new (to me) Zombie recipe listed on page 172 of Remixed-it's a Zombie recipe that was served at the Aku-Aku in Las Vegas, and as the Bum states in remixed: "the recipe is almost certainly the work of Don The Beachcomber, whom the Stardust hired to create the Aku-Aku's cocktail menu in 1959. We find this Zombie interesting for several reasons: First, how Donn streamlined the proportions of his 1930's original so that the Aku-Aku's bartenders could assemble the drink faster; Second how the ingredients remain essentially unchanged from that first version; And third, how a few drops each of.....make such a huge difference in the drink. Clearly Don had learned much in 25 years". WOW, what a drink-it's the bones of the original 1934 Zombie Punch, but this recipe is more balanced and very drinkable, while still packing quite a punch. The drink is made perfect by the use Trader Tiki's Cinnamon Syrup BTW. I'm not going to post the recipe, you'll need to buy the book to find it. However I predict that fellow Zombie fans will proclaim this recipe to be a classic.
